Yes, Edith Head was a true legend in Hollywood and I can remember seeing her on the Oscars as a young child and noticing how the stars reacted to her. She was an amazing force in the business.

I ADORED the costumes in "A Good Woman" with Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johannson. It takes place on the Amalfi coast of Italy in 1930 - lots of minor British royalty and wealthy Americans renting villas.

The dresses - day and evening - are just stunning! I would wear any one of them today - just CLASSICS! And beautiful, simple, face framing chapeaux. Too chic!_________________L'appetit vient en mangeant. -Rabelais

Audrey Hepburn's costumes in Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady! I also loved the old '40's clothes from LA Confidential. And the gowns in Shakespeare in Love. Simply magnificent. And Auntie Mame. ::Sigh::

I love period films, if only for the clothes!_________________Don't forget the cannolis!

Donna,
It's kind of ironic that the world was full of very rich people in the 1930s and their style was becoming more pared down and functional... yet somehow it still had style, as if they just couldn't help themselves. Even during the 1940s when the war raged and in Britain there was terrible deprivation, the clothes were still styled very carefully.

I have to admit that I love the films of the 1950s and 60s for the fashion. Tho' it's more for the women's wear which has more style I think than the menswear. You can look at the women's clothes and tell the period of the film._________________Confusion comes fitted as standard.

1967 Bonnie and Clyde I was becoming aware of fashion 'round that time...the different looks that were~ the time so many females were trying to look so Bonnie Parkerish...so Faye Dunawayish

I was wondering her age..

have a guess..'n then scroll down

14 January 1941
